Rotation-Support-GREAT-REASONS

Yes, a $45 Supporting Membership gets you access to our most creative stuff, like our Writing Team lesson sets, but it also supports ALL of our one-of-a-kind efforts to be a "resource like no other" for Sunday School.

So join us if...

You are looking for "different" — not the same old same old. No more tired crafts and worksheets. We know you like having MANY creative choices to choose from (and not just what the publisher wants you to see).

You love the idea of our collecting, creating, and improving good ideas and resources AND having them available 24/7/365. Ideas are there when YOU need them (and we give you a place to share your own valuable expertise and ideas and feedback).

You're looking for inspiration and materials you can copy and use or ADAPT to make your own.

You love the creative choices our Writing Team lesson sets give you and the really innovative ideas they come up with. And you like how they also suggest at-home and intergenerational adaptations.

You're a bit "rogue" and independent-minded (like us), don't think there's enough support out there for creative children's Sunday School, and want to see Sunday School thrive, not die.

You want OUTSIDE the BOX thinking on a wide variety of Sunday School topics and teaching techniques, including the needs of Neurodiverse kids, teaching in broadly graded classrooms, making lessons work in small churches, and how brain science can inform our teaching.

You appreciate having teacher training PDFs available to share with your crew.

You like that we're talking about tech, software, and apps for today's classrooms, and are paying attention to YouTube (which is ignored by the denominations and publishers).

You like having detailed outlines to some of the best Bible videos and series out there so you know what to use and what to skip.

You're busy, so you like having the recordings available of practical Christian education seminars you couldn't attend in person.

WHY2-support-Rotation.org

Most of our Supporting Members tell us they joined to get access our creative Writing Team lesson sets.

And who can blame them?

$45 for access to 300+ truly creative, broadly graded, editable lessons is a HUGE bargain (and particularly appreciated by small churches).  (Join here)

But that's not the only reason that our members tell us they support Rotation.org. Here are a few more…

The "Fellow Rogue" Factor
Many members tell us they love supporting our unique approach and rather "rogue" place in the Sunday School resource world (probably because they are a bit "unique" and "rogue" themselves!) Nobody is crowd-sourcing like we are, writing as creatively like we are, volunteer-led like we are, archiving like we are long into the future, and doing it without marketing razz-a-ma-tazz or pop-up advertisements.

The "Sharing" Factor
Some Members tell us that they like the sharing model we've created --that we are crowd-sourcing our content from creative educators and teachers like them. They also like that we give away the majority of our content in public forums.

Creativity that is More Than Just Another Shade of Construction Paper
Most of our Supporting Members are here for the many creative teaching techniques and materials we continue to explore. They are tired of the cookie-cutter lessons put out by publishers — and really tired of worksheets! They appreciate our cooking projects, the fun games, exploring new ways to use music, getting links to good YouTube videos, REAL art projects, and new ways to act out Bible stories. Thanks to the Rotation Modelers who created our site, creativity is the norm, not the exception.

24/7/365 Archive
People tell us that they love that they can browse on THEIR time and time zone, and that all of the great ideas they see now will be there when they need them in the future. (This storage model costs money, which is one of the reasons we need Supporting Members.)

Non-denominational and International
People tell us that they appreciate that our content, leaders, and members come from MANY different denominations and from all over the world. While most of our members are North American, we have a bunch of members in places like Australia, the UK, Switzerland, and the Far East. While our editorial point of view is "mainline," our members are diverse, and we encourage our members to adapt lessons as they see fit.

I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T. and Volunteer-Led
People tell us that they like the fact that we don't accept advertising and don't "suggest" products to make affiliate money. They like that our Board and Team Leaders are all volunteers. We do spend money on website and writing support, which are our only major expenses in addition to paying for our amazing forum software and deep storage, but in truth, our "staff" are our Supporting Members.
